The rising senior midfielder had a breakout campaign, scoring a team-high 17 goals along with eight assists to lead the Eagles to the Non-Public A state title.

The rising senior scored seven goals and added four assists for Moorestown on the soccer field in 2024, showing major improvements from her sophomore campaign.

The rising junior demonstrated great ball control and striking for the Lions last year, scoring seven more goals than she did in her prior rookie season. She'll be a nightmare for opposing defenses this upcoming fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://youtu.be/TJyjpEXQgAA?si=fTcFIXEZeOb1MhR1","type":"video","providerNameSlug":"youtube","responsive":true,"className":"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://youtu.be/TJyjpEXQgAA?si=fTcFIXEZeOb1MhR1 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='295554' first='Charleigh' last='Devereaux']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"102","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Seneca","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"[program_tooltip program_id='283427' first='[program_tooltip program_id='283426' first='PDA' last='']' last='South']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68883d63c4fa9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Devereaux was one of the best rookies in the Olympic Conference last year. The midfielder racked up seven goals and added two assists for Seneca. She demonstrated great game awareness for her first year at the high school level.

Among those coming back is rising sophomore Abbie Brown, who scored a team-high 10 goals in 2024. Brown is another multi-sport athlete who shines best in lacrosse, but also tears it up on the soccer field. Keep an eye out this upcoming fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://youtu.be/FKldOhQTcGE?si=P0Bc-RGb7ir8iX8p","type":"video","providerNameSlug":"youtube","responsive":true,"className":"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://youtu.be/FKldOhQTcGE?si=P0Bc-RGb7ir8iX8p </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["270807"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68883d63c5119"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kintzing created numerous scoring opportunities for the Non-Public A state champions. The rising junior not only scored 13 goals, but she also racked up 15 assists for Paul VI last year. One of the best forwards in the Garden State, her passing accuracy was elite.

Koerner is among the returning underclassmen for the defending NPA State champs. She's coming off a breakout sophomore season in which she recorded 15 goals and seven assists, both major increases from her prior rookie season. Opposing coaches will be scratching their heads this upcoming fall, trying to figure out how to stop Koerner and the rest of the Eagles.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
